Sarah Palin

If McCain dies, how is someone with five kids and a pregnant daughter going to run the country?  (Someone should mail that family some condoms.)  If you find that sexist, fine.  How about this:  She just doesn't have the experience.  I said the same about Obama but at least he's been preparing for the presidency for over a year, is a dedicated student of everything, and has someone on his ticket who knows what he's doing.  My hubby adds, "She's been governor only one month longer than Obama's been campaigning for president."

It's not too late for McCain to dump her, even if he'll look bad.  It has a precedent in history, although not a good one.

Sen. McGovern in 1972 chose Thomas Eagleton, who didn't tell anyone that he'd been hospitalized for mental illness.  McGovern said he was behind Eagleton "1,000 percent," but then he got Eagleton to withdraw.   Then he picked Sargeant Shriver, husband of JFK's sister.  (I know he did other stuff, but I'm too lazy to look.)

So McCain, don't save face.  Get a better running mate.
